Last week I photographed the band Kosmodrone. Their music genre is kind of new for me. As they describe in their facebook profile, they play Garage Space Drone Blues. You can download their first album PEACE CONSTRUCTION KIThere for free.

The musician are: David Nesselhauffrom Hamburg plays bass, pocket piano (Also playing in Diazpora as well as solo artist)Hiyori from Tokyo plays drums and percussion (also playing in the band bash.o)Graeme Currie from Edinburgh plays guitar, melodica, recorder, occasional vocals (member of bash.o)

PEACE CONSTRUCTION KIT (ET 009, 2015)The 12 songs were recorded over two days in December 2015. They are all attempts to illustrate some aspect of peace. Most pieces on PEACE CONSTRUCTION KIT were played only once. It’s all effectively live (but without a studio audience). (https://enormetontraeger.wordpress.com/kosmodrone/)

For the photo shoot I used my 6x6 wide angle pinhole camera. It was a good opportunity to use my pinhole photography for a band concept that matched the pinhole wide angle image visual language.​​

[...] Their music is improvised live alternative concept rock with space, kraut, drone, blues and noise elements. For every single show KOSMODRONE starts with a new idea, concept or narrative around which the artists improvise according to a rough framework. (https://enormetontraeger.wordpress.com/kosmodrone/)

We went to Hafen City in Hamburg and set our photo session in the harbor among some old boats, exploring the old industrial look for the photographs ambiance.

It was a fun and relaxing shoot. We didn't had to go very far in order to find what we were looking for.

The pinhole f/133 that requires long exposures took between 3 and 6 seconds per shot.

The HP5 film negative were used for its long latitude, in order to help me with the pinhole vignetting.

Thanks to that I am looking forwards to make more portraits with my wide angle pinhole camera in the streets.
